Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a gas turbine engine, and, more particularly, to a gas turbine engine with improved efficiency and improved emission control of combustion products, such as Nitrogen Oxide gases (NOx), Carbon monoxide (CO), Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), Unburned Hydrocarbons (UHC) etc., in exhaust gases, at low load condition.
  • combustion products such as Nitrogen Oxide gases (NOx), Carbon monoxide (CO), Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), Unburned Hydrocarbons (UHC) etc.
  • VGV Variable Inlet Guide Vanes
  • closing the VIGV for reducing the inlet air flow is possible to a certain extent only because after a certain limit the compressor on which the VIGV are configured begins to reach operation limits, and any further closing of the VIGV may lead to aerodynamically unstable operation or damage.
  • reduction of power for enabling the power plant to operate at low load condition may be done by reducing a turbine inlet temperature within the gas turbine. This, however, is constrained by operational limits of the specific combustor or becomes detrimental to the environment regulatory with regard to emission of one or more combustion products, as described above.
  • EP 2573331 describes a compressor of a gas turbine system comprising a fluid flow control device and an impingement angle control device downstream of the fluid flow control device.
  • EP 2397670 describes a method for controlling emissions in a heat engine, particularly in a gas turbine, and also describes a heat engine.

  • Foremost purpose of the filter member 112 is to clean the inlet air to meet the operational goals of the machine and, secondarily, to maintain its filtration efficiency. Specific designs of the filter member 112 may be adapted as per the requirement to protect against particles of various sizes and composition.
  • the gas turbine engine 100 further includes a compressor 106, various rows of stator vanes 106a configured on the compressor, a combustor 108 and a turbine 110.

The detachable attachment enables removing of the inlet air flow control arrangement 116, whenever not required at the disclosed positions.
  • the inlet air flow control arrangement 116 is shown to be disposed at three different locations between the filter member 112 and the row of VIGV 114 that may be selected by the user as per system requirement. At a first location, the inlet air flow control arrangement 116 is shown to be disposed between the filter member 112 and the row of VIGV 114 with proximity to the filter member 112 and reasonably distal from the row of VIGV 114. At a second location, the inlet air flow control arrangement 116 is shown to be disposed between the filter member 112 and the row of VIGV 114 at substantially centralized position to both.
  • the inlet air flow control arrangement 116 is shown to be disposed between the filter member 112 and the row of VIGV 114 with proximity to the row of VIGV 114 and reasonably distal from the filter member 112.

  • the inlet air flow control arrangement 116 may be detachably disposed adjacent to the filter member 112 at any preferred locations depending upon the gas turbine engine 100 operating conditions.
  • the placement of the inlet air flow control arrangement 116 may be at front side of the filter member 112, or may be behind/ backside of the filter member 112, within the inlet passage 102.
  • the gas turbine engine 100 while operating at the low-load condition, the at least one of the VIGV 114 and the air inlet flow control arrangement 116 are configured to be selectively operable to at least partially close the inlet passage 102. That is, the VIGV 114 and the air inlet flow control arrangement 116 may be combinedly or separately operated to close the inlet passage 102 to substantially full extent.

  • the inlet air flow control arrangement 116 may be adapted to maintain the direction of flow of the inlet air such that downstream of the VIGV 114 receives axial inflow. In other words, the direction of flow of the inlet air remains unchanged with the insertion of the inlet air flow control arrangement 116 in the inlet passage 102. Further, in another embodiment, upon requirement, the inlet air flow control arrangement 116 may be adapted to change the direction of flow of the inlet air such that incidence of the inlet air at the VIGV 114 leading edge is reduced.
  • the gas turbine engine 100 may further include a heating member 118 adapted to be configured in the inlet passage 102.
  • the heating member 118 is shown to be disposed between the filter member 112 and the inlet air flow control arrangement 116.
  • the heating member 118 may be disposed at any location which is capable of heating the inlet air entering the compressor 106.
  • the heating member 118 may be adapted to be operable during the low load operation condition of the gas turbine engine 100. Specifically, during the low load operation condition, when it is required to heat the inlet air to enable the reduction of power output of the gas turbine engine 100, the heating member 118 in combination with the air inlet flow control arrangement 116 manage the pressure loss in the inlet passage 102.
  • the inlet air flow control arrangement 116 in combination with the heating member 118, is capable of reducing intake pressure by increasing the inlet pressure loss in turn reducing intake mass flow of inlet air while maintaining the volume of the mass flow of the intake air without affecting the combustor 108 or its chamber's operating conditions. Further, the inlet air flow control arrangement 116, either independently or in combination with the heating member 118, under the low load condition of the gas turbine engine 100, also enables reduction of emission of combustion products with the exhaust gas from the exhaust passage 104, apart from supply low quantity of the inlet air.
  • the gas turbine engine 100 may include an exhaust gases flow control arrangement 122.
  • Such exhaust gases flow control arrangement 122 may be adapted to be detachably disposed in the exhaust passage 104 so that when required may be removed.
  • Such exhaust gases flow control arrangement 122 may be adapted to increase pressure and temperature of the exhausted gas exiting from the turbine 110.
  • additional placement of the exhaust gases flow control arrangement 122, apart from that of the inlet air flow control arrangement 116, may be effective in a combined cycle power plants, where the gas turbine engine 100 may have been combined with other power plants, such as a steam/water cycle power plants.
  • the exhaust gases flow control arrangement 122 may be adapted to be detachably disposed in the exhaust passage 104, downstream of the HRSG. This ensures the increase in pressure and temperature of the exhausted gas exiting from the turbine 110 for enabling such other power plant to utilize the exhausted gas for being operated.
  • the gas turbine exhaust temperature may be increased, which is in favor when the gas turbine engine 100 is utilized with combined cycle power plant. Additionally, this is also a favorable condition when a fast power ramp-up rate is required in such combined cycle.
  • the inlet air and exhaust gases flow control arrangements 116 and 122 may be one of a shutter arrangement, a grid arrangement, a damper arrangement and a throttle device arrangement selectively chosen per requirement.

  • the improved gas turbine engine is improved in efficiency, and is improved in emission control of combustion products, such as Nitrogen Oxide gases (NOx), Carbon monoxide (CO), Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), Unburned Hydrocarbons (UHC) etc., in exhaust gases, at low load condition.
  • Such improved gas turbine engine also enables turbine pressure ratios to be lower than compressor ratio.
  • the improved gas turbine engine is also effect with combined power cycles, where by keeping the turbine inlet temperature constant or keeping the power constant, the gas turbine exhaust temperature will increase which is in favor for other combined cycle power plant, such as water/steam cycles, when a fast power ramp-up rate is required in such combined cycle power plants.
